EDD 7102 - Quantitative Research Methods

The course will enhance the students understanding of how to analyze and report research data. By the end of the course, students should understand why a researcher has approached a particular research question as she/he has. Moreover, given a typical set of research data, students should be able to explain the proper method of analyzing these data. Additionally, students will be able to interpret the meaning of graphical depictions of data (e.g. bar graphs, frequency distributions, line graphs, scatterplots, and so on), and students will gain a basic understanding of commonly reported statistics. The laboratory component of the course will enable students to use statistical software to analyze hypothetical data sets and to report results in an accepted format.
